Was James Pantera bullied by Mike Saltzstein? NO! Mike Saltzstein was asked to check into James Pantera's past and the results were disturbing.

Here is an email from a colleague of Mike Saltzstein who requested that Mike check into James Pantera's past. (Names have been redacted in the email above but the names will remain intact when shown to USA Swimming .) Mike was sent links by this colleague after they had found questionable items in James Pantera's past after doing a cursory Google search on James Pantera. Subsequently these links provided distressing information and Mike was told to research it and research it he did.

As a result a myriad of lies were soon found out which has demonstrably proven that James Pantera should have never been a sanctioned USA Swimming coach since he had a felony record and an arrest on weapons charges.

What I am trying to say here is that when it comes stating the truth that a rule or rules have been broken that is not bullying in any way shape or form. It's informing the public.

Hre is a quote from Mike Saltzstein: "...[This email] should shut down any retaliation claims as my rationale for the Pantera mess. Similarly it should close off any debate of his bullying claim, this was almost a month before he claims to have filed some complaint for which I was retaliating. Fact two, I have not ever even seen this supposed complaint. ..."

You Sir have a fraudulent document. It is well known that no one knew James was announced as the Serra HS Swim coach until January 29th at a lunch meeting. At no time prior was there any annoucement of this information. Secondly, Mr. Saltzstein's campaign to make people believe that James' complaint about his past is wrong. James's complaint was pertaining to a incident on the pooldeck on the 15th, where the general chair was a witness. Third, James' tried to file confidentially his complaint so as to keep all this internal. Mr. Saltzstein knew about his bullying actions and needed to create a smoke screen. The problem with smoke screens is they clear. You have to ask yourself, if Mr. Saltzstein is so supportive of USA Swimming, then why was his second call (probably his first) to his friend, the Associated Press reporter?? Why did he not just send his memo driectly to USA Swimming and allow them to handle it internally, does he not know this is damaging to the organization he theorhetically loves so much??

A witness statement and an email header is more evidence than your theory.

When I reported the NBAC sex abuse case, I too went to both the press and USA Swimming. I went to the press to be sure that the case would be quality controlled and observed by an outside body rather than swept under the rug. (See infamous Wielgus letter telling a lawyer to keep a sex abuse victim's email "between you and me.)

To my surprise USA Swimming took the complaint quite seriously and did a good job. In Pantera's case, despite the rules that those with a felony are not allowed to be members, they have acted quite slowly.

In my opinion this man is sociopathic at a minimum. If you search the local courts' docket information, I believe you will see evidence of this. I believe he has done this with USA Swimming and other organizations as part of an ongoing and continuous effort to use lies and misrepresentation to insinuate himself into organizations and prey on good people. How is preserving the integrity of USA Swimming and protecting families and kids to be considered bullying?! He will most likely drag everyone into court over this one too. The real problem, I think, is that he believes his own lies.

James Pantera is a total fraud and thief. Everything he says is a lie. www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA485301, PHOTONDREAM.COM phoney company he was never involved with.
